We made it back! When we got in I was dying to see my
family. It was about 8:00 and my son usually goes to bed around
9:00 so I was desperate to get home. I grabbed my bag and ran to
the car and found that my battery was dead. My heart sank!
I started trying to get the battery jumped and it was so dead that the
motor wouldn't turn over. About that time, Jerry and Devin (who
has kids at home that he wants to see too) came up and started to help
me. We got the car running and I went around to grab my bags and
they had already loaded them for me. Then I went to put the
jumper cabled up and Jerry grabbed them and said that he would take
care of it and told me to get going.
What an amazing thing to have friends like this. Devin wanted to
get home as bad as I did but he took the time to stop and help
me. He knowingly put my first. They showed me Christ list
night and I want soon forget it.
John 15:12-17 NIV
My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love
has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. You
are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants,
because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have
called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have
made known to you. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed
you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will last. Then the Father will
give you whatever you ask in my name. This is my command: Love each
other.
